we don't know who else will still be working in the white house by april 9th, john kelly could be fired from the white house by tha then. we don't know what lawyers will be defending donald trump in the special prosecutor's investigation of the russia investigation. the president's legal criminal attorney, john dowd left today. he claims he resigned, but he might have been fired. there's no way of knowing, because everyone in trump world is willing to lie about everything. for an always chaotic white hou house, today was an unusually chaotic day. the dumping of the criminal defense lawyer was followed by the dumping of the national security advisor h.r. mcmaster and the naming of the next national security advisor john bolton and a report that the president is thinking about firing john kelly and not replacing him. the president is wondering aloud whether he actually needs a white house chief of staff and it's a reasonable question. he has had two white house chiefs of staff and neither one of them managed to get a single day's work done by the trump white house that was not chaotic eve

john white liberal commentator and journalist john morning to you a former police officer we spoke to earlier on said the media speculation is creating a thought learn healthy environment for the investigation do you think media outlets should be more concerned about their. we should because their rhetoric on this matter before the very. the geisha even began before it was even determined what were responsible the substance that was used in this attack if indeed it had been an attack has been reckless and irresponsible and could only have hampered the investigation though i'd like to think that the british authorities have enough professionalism to resist being and any we flew into by this rhetoric but when it comes to britain's foreign secretary borders johnson we're talking on an entirely different level of stupidity and when he stood up in the house of commons a few days ago when this incident first came to wait and opportunity to engage in some anti russian hyperbole he did not do so or speaking as britain's foreign secretary i suggest but as the foreign secretary of the times new

>> reporter: well, it's interesting john. white house officials are publicly saying that this is something that gary cohn has been discussing privately with the president for several weeks. they say that gary cohn was looking for the appropriate time to leave the administration. despite that, just a few weeks ago, sources were telling cnn that gary cohn's name was being floated as a possible replacement for chief of staff john kelly when it was rumored that he was leaving the white house. the timing of this announcement is telling, john. it comes as there is an impasse between the president's top adviser on trade and the president and others within the administration when it comes to these tariffs. one source telling cnn that gary cohn felt boxed out by others within the administration, that he felt like he lost the argument on trade and that there was nothing else that he could do. we should note that as you mentioned, rumors about gary cohn leaving the administration have long been swirling after the riot in charlottesville when

john kelly likes someone who has a job in the white house and doing that job. he gets frustrated in the west wing and the people who did not have well defined portfolios when john kelly entered west wing. that is certain something he likes. i'm sure he appreciated gary cohn on capitol hill for the west wing. he was helpful for tax reform. >> stand by. i want to bring in jeffrey toobin to assess what is going on. there you are over there. let's talk a little bit about the lack of chaos in the white house. you saw what the president tweeted this morning. the new fake news narrative is that there is chaos in the white house. wrong. people will always come and go. i want strong dialogue before making a final decision. i still have people i want to change. always seeking perfection. there is no chaos. only great energy. that tweet after his news conference with the swedish prime minister. your reaction? >> at the very senior level, gary cohn was the last survivor of the beginning of the administration with just two exceptions. ivanka trump and jared kushner. at this

aggression we discussed the accusations against russia with political commentator and journalist john white. there is no concrete evidence that russia has engaged in any kind of warfare hybrid or otherwise but what it is evidence for is that the west is engaged in warfare against russia economic sanctions all remained you are an instrument of war the two expansion eastward is an act of war and this russia has been unleashed in the mainstream you key establishment media supported by the government. is being gauged and with the objective as i see shaping public opinion to accept the new cold war with russia so if any country is leading the war. in the last few years it is russia given see the. tapes of the west to expand need to use worked which is a clear and existential threat to russia's security this is despite russia's repeated warnings that this is a threat to its security and those warnings being ignored we modern british m.p. has lashed out at the head of wiki leaks over this case we'll bring you the details on that the stories just after the break. join me every thursday on the alex

american now let's get the thoughts now of john white political commentator and journalist and has been following the story very closely to you john good afternoon she from our report there it does appear doesn't it that the evidence u.k. show in other countries is not concrete proof of russia's guilt so why do you think the u.s. and half of europe has decided to stand behind britain on this. oh ok look we've got a problem i think. the question again john from that report there it looks like the evidence that the u.k. was showing other countries is not concrete proof of russia's deal so why do you think half of europe and the u.s. has decided to stand behind britain on this. obviously we have got a communication problem there with john we're trying get back soon in a few minutes if we have time we'll come back soon surely if we can we do apologize . now in the meantime the british m.p. just announced union sanchez a miserable little after the wiki leaks chief tweeted criticisms of the u.k.'s handling of this crippled poisoning in the tweet a sign said it was reasonable to suspect russia

during the rise of nazi germany and some interesting context there appreciate your time my guest john white political commentator and journalist thank you. but as tensions as we've been talking between russia and britain intensify in the us president decided to improve american relations by congratulating latino putin on his election victory it sparked outrage among some politicians are parts of the media twitter the u.s. president accused the media of being crazy saying that quote getting along with russia is a good thing he added that russia could help in dealing with various problems. picks up the story. trump's gone and done it again something completely normal but it struck so what the hell lay into him he called putin and congratulated him despite very clear instructions not to literally his brief said do not congratulate in capital letters according to an anonymous source not that that bothers anyone these days do not say congratulations on capital letters and when the president gets on the phone with them and says congratulations you shouldn't be congratulating president putin for t

if it were up to john kelly rob porter would be still working in the white house after everything thatenny willoughby had to say about them. but the black eye photograph of rob porter's first wife was something that john kelly couldn't dismiss as just, quote, some level of emotional abuse. as if emotional abuse isn't abuse. as if a wife living in constant fear is just one of the possible conditions of marriage. it seems john kelly is living in constant fear now of being asked, what did he know about rob porter and exactly when did he know it? that is what congressman trey grow dy asked john kelly in a letter last month. writing in a letter from his job, he asked john kelly what derog tear information was subsequently made available to the white house on rob porter, when and to whom? when we reported on that letter and question last month, it seemed we were going to get an answer to what john kelly and everyone else in the white house knew and when they knew it, but this is the trump white house after all, so john kelly has simply ignored trey gowdy's letter and had an assistant to the

i talked to people in the white house last night. could it be john bolton? another name is kellogg, one of the deputies in the white house. someone said, if it was kellogg, there'd be mutiny inside the white house. to find people to remace tplace individuals on the outs, you didn't mention ben carson.

on wednesday that the white house even updated john kelly's statement about rob porter and even then, he said, this isn't the man that i knew him to be whatsoever. it is not as if the white house told him he has to go. i told him, he has to go. he was fired. they were maintaining he resigned and left on his own terms. >> i want to bring in white house post reporter jennifer ruben. what's going on here? >> you got me. i think john kelly is a lot of trouble and engaged in this death match with jared kushner and ivanka. clearly the president is very upset, so upset he probably started a trade war because he's so upset with john kelly. everyone is just covering their rear ends here and inconceivable, not only he didn't know as francesca said until the 6th but for an entire year, he had no press clearance. john kelly came in the summer. apparently, he was told in the fall somebody was told in the fall he wasn't going to be getting his clearance. so it was john kelly not told about that or not known the details? none of this hangs together. and i think it's really reflective of the fact tha

white house domestic abuse scandal takes another turn. another story that's provably false. we'll tell you what john kelly is trying to sell this time in two minutes. >>> turning an impromptu off the record conversation with reporters of the white house today, chief of staff john kelly went on the record with yet another version of what he knew and when about former white house staff secretary and accused spouse abuser rob porter. quote, the first i heard of a serious accusation against him was on the sixth of february. the accusation was late in the afternoon, and it was simply one of his two former wives that claimed she had some level of emotional abuse. he didn't learn the physical abuse until the second story broke but the daily said that's false. quote, february 6, 4:40 p.m. daily mail approaches the white house with detailed allegations of emotional and physical abuse against rob porter, made in an interview by jennifer. second wife. what is your case that john kelly is not being truthful when he says that he was not told about physical abuse? >> so the daily mail was very clear in its origin

a white house official says john kelly, the white house chief of staff, has warned the president about to witnesses in the russia investigation. this follows a "new york times" report that president trump asked two witnesses about their conversations with robert mueller's team. does that cross a line? >> well, it does get very, very close to a line because it's not just trying to find out information, as they would say in the army, it might be undue command influence. sending the message not just to those that may have been questioned but those that would be questioned in the future that what they say would be commented upon or they be queried by the president. that's not a good practice. i think john kelly's advice is sound advice. >> the white house senior adviser to the president's son-in-law jared kushner, he's been in mexico city, he met with the president of mexico. despite having a security clearance downgraded from top secret to secret on an interim basis, an outgoing career diplomat with 30 years experience in the region was not on the trip. the outgoing u.s. ambassador to mex

john roberts at the white house. we begin with jennifer griffin. she broke this details last

john, thanks so much for joining us. first of all, as a former chief of staff at the white house, what do you think of john kelly saying he had no idea about the rob porter scandal until february 6 as it was breaking? >> well, you know, if he says it, you know, maybe we can believe him, but the white house knew about it at least since last september. the fbi knew about it since january of the time they came in. and i think they must have told the white house security office and the white house counsel, mr. mcghan, knew about it for many months. they had hundreds of security clearances. he said they became concerned about it but they didn't do anything about it until "the daily mail" reported the facts on mr. porter. so i think way beyond they didn't cover themselves in glory, they really let this problem fester. they didn't do anything about it, and i think that, you know, it shows a white house that's really not functioning properly. >> kelly joked yesterday -- and i ask you this because you're a former white house chief of staff -- that his job is a punishment from god. what do you think of all the chaos that's currentl

, that's it, anderson. >> what does this say to you about how the white house is functioning or not functions? >> it's not just how johns white house is functioning, when the fbi conclude what it concluded last july reince priebus was chief of staff. it's possible reince priebus didn't pass on everything to john kelly he was expected to pass on. but clearly in november they knew it was in the fbi's files but they considered it a blackmail risk. there's some dysfunction there clearly. the central message of this entire story, if there's a moral in it. people of low moral characters shouldn't be near the levers of power and what i'm hearing from white house officials this evening is there's some concern that john kelly may have some problems tracking with reality when it comes time to tell facts about what he knew and when he knew it. i think on further reflection, his entire m.o. was why he didn't resign but very few people remember the history. this goes back months if not more than a year, appointment not just about what happened in february when dailymail.com ran these stories. >> it brings up kelly's response with c

and john roberts is at the white house with more on this. , what more do we know about why john dowd is leaving the president's side? >> well, i think the writing was kind of on the wall, rick, when the president announced last week that out of the blue or was it earlier this week, i mean -- what was it gary cohen resigned? last year or the year before? it was earlier this week that the president hired the noted former u.s. attorney, also believes that the f.b.i. had a conspiracy at the highest levels to frame president trump with a false crime. when he was brought in, the writing was kind of on the wall that, you know, it was starting to get very crowded in the president's legal team. i know that john dowd has been really making the case that the president should be very cautious about sitting down for an interview with robert mueller. that over the objections from some of the president's other attorneys who think that it would be a good idea to do it as long as the parameters for such an interview were very narrowly cast. in order to try to

police are searching for that guy right there john white they believe he stole almost 3,000-pounds of local scrap yard. they are valued at $175,000. if you know where john whiteys , give police a call. >>> community coming together to raise some money for beloved bartender in philadelphia sheila was a long time bartender at dirty frank 's before being hit by a car three weeks ago. she has severe head trauma look at the turnout right there, even this weekend with so much weather stuff, big fundraiser to raise money for her. she was 56. she was hit on the night of the eagles victory parade. friends say she was always positive and welcoming. >> you see people who maybe haven't been to this bar in 20 years, have moved out, have come by to pay their respects and share memories. i think the fact that she has touched so many lives is absolutely incredible. >> well, the thing she's a bartender she doesn't have any health insurance, very costly, long recovery maybe take a year before she could go back to work again if you are able to donate we have put a linc to that go fund me on our web site

>> happy to forward if you're not receiving white house press releases. john? european union is being very shrewd tariffs bed linens, swing states, florida, ohio, pennsylvania, manufacturers, chewing tobacco, includes north carolina, cranberries, leading producer is wisconsin. orange juice, again florida. is the president concerned that he could hurt his political fortunes in some of these swing states if he goes ahead with these tariffs? >> the president has been talking about this for a long time. it shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. other countries have created unfair trade policies for decades that have harmed our national and economic security. the president wants a strong economy and a strong national security. and strong u.s. economy benefits all americans, particularly by helping us maintain a strong military and defend u.s. national security interests. and he is going to continue every day that we have strong both national and economic security. reporter: he was going to hit him where it hurts. he is prepared to take the hit? >> the president is

today, porter's former boss, chief of staff john kelly revisited his handling in a way that left white house staffers stunned saying general john kelly is not telling the proof. they were stunned, puzzled or saying flat out that john kelly wasn't telling the truth. that was the reporting at the time. and here we are again. here is what general kelly said again that reignited the scandal. and he said it unprompted. no one forced him to say it. he volunteered it. quote, i have absolutely nothing to consider to resign over he told reporters. then, he put forward a new time line that fits our extensive reporting nor the story he told west wing staffers at the time. he said he learned of serious accusations. he described it as quote just the accusation of a messy divorce and maybe emotional abuse. kelly then says we put out a statement for him and an hour later now find out there is a second report still not in the press, still no picks just an inquiry saying hey, his first wife 15 years ago says that there was physical abuse. then he says he spoke with porter who he says had already resign

john roberts back at the white house. what's the latest john? >> the president is probably hearing about it with the swedish prime minister, we hope to ask him about this at the press offense. the. ure ryan commission -- you are a pea an commission phoned vice president levin ahead of the meeting with the president, to say if the president goes ahead with the tariffs on steel the eu is prepared to retaliate, with punitive penalties on american goods manufactured in some key republican drebts distributes. -- districts. this would be motorcycles, jeans, and bourbon among other things. there you're targeting wisconsin with motorcycles, kentucky with bourbon and jeans made several places across the united states. the president is holding out an opening for canned da and mexico -- canada and mexico. if they can come up with a better deal on nafta, maybe they might be excluded from these tariffs. listen to the treasury secretary earlier on capitol hill. >> to the extent we're successful in renegotiating nafta, those tariffs won't apply the mexico and

i talked to people in the white house last night. could it be john bolton? another name is kellogg, one of

jeff, the white house suspect the leak came from within or where? >> john, the white house suspects the leak came from the inside, likely from the national security realm here. there was a limited number of people up vinvolved in the brie of the president. he made the call from the residence of the white house, which he normally does. the reality is, as the white house is focusing on the leakers, there many republicans and democrats who are trying to focus this on the substance of the phone call. the white house, of course, more interested in focusing on the leak there. the reality is, there is someone inside this white house and inside the national security counsel who does not like how the president is dealing with vladimir putin, so they decided to leak that to "the washington post." it certainly is something that sparked a witch hunt around here. i'm told the white house chief of staff, john kelly is fearious as is the president. the president is in the residence right now. the white house is technically not holding public events today. most people are

significant innovation in recent years has come out of louisiana and that is thanks to the leadership of john white. getting the teachers and local districts to support the need not only to understand the academic sndards butlso to tter understand which textbook and curriculum materials meet your children's needs. low income children are less likely to have access to high-quality content or textbooks in the classroom than the communities. this accounts for the significant achievement gap between the students and their more affluent peers they have access to the high-quality materials and they have the training they need to support them in this work to deliver and to promote what they called tier one curriculum. the state promotes the use across the state i and all stats and teachers have access to that curriculum. i am proud of the fact that mississippi is following followg louisiana's need. we have engage with them so we can better learn how to help our teachers have access to high-quality materials. realizing that in mississippi those decisions and curriculum are also locally made and the honor t

. >> john: white house says it's punitive, not protective. he wants to recover damages from years of inequity and trade policy. >> we're doing things for this country that should have been done for many, many years. we've had this abuse by many other countries, and groups of countries that were put together in order to take advantage of the united states, and we don't want that to happen. we're not going to let that happen. >> john: the china announcement upped the anxiety for some of the president's closest political allies, already suffering heartburn on tariffs over steel and aluminum. >> i'm concerned about it. i'm not a great fan of tariffs, as everybody knows, but i will see what the president thinks is the right thing to do, and we'll go from there, but i'm very concerned about some of these tariff ideas. >> john: the national association of manufacturers urged the president to proceed with caution. in a statement this morning saying: tariffs are one proposed response, but they are likely to create new challenges in the form of signifi

john roberts. he's outside the white house for us right now. john, did you hear what i heard? >> i heard exactly what you heard. and i thought to myself: we're going on a trip and we're going to be going on a trip very soon, some time before may is what chung yong said. the president has said he will meet with kim jong un. difficult to overstate the historic nature of this for an american president to agree to one-on-one talks with north korea's dictator really is quite extraordinary. i thought it was interesting that mr. chung said it was the president's maximum pressure policies on north korea that brought them to this point. the talks earlier in the week between south korean officials and kim jong un and the planned meeting now between kim jong un and which will happen after president trump speaks directly with him. now the promise of direct talks between the united states and north korea. the president is under no allusion though that this is going to be a real break through and this is going to lead some real concrete action. because he has cautioned for years now during

john kelly. he also told reporters that he thought there were too many staffers here at the white house who had top secret clearances. he bumped them down to only secret security clearances. another stunning admission. >> good point. thanks very much. let's talk a little bit about about john kelly's revised time line on the rob porter scandal and how it clashes. joined by katelyn collins, doing a lot of reporting on this. there are significant discrepancies in his account, right? >> i would say inaccuracies, he sought to give a time line of when he found out about the allegations and the way he handled them. he said on february 6, that tuesday that that first story came out he said they received a press inquiry about rob porter been a emotion abuse allegation. john kelly says he went to him and confronted him about it. that rob porter denied the allegation and john kelly went to capitol hill for a meeting with lawmakers to discuss daca. when he returned from that meeting there was a second allegation of physical abuse which one of his other wives and then he met with rob porter again. that is when
